Radio Free Moscow to Host an Evening of Theology, Feminism, and Fireworks
By Joan Opyr, 7-10-06
It'll be just like the movie "Shane," only Biblical.On Tuesday, July 11th, at 7:30 PM, controversial Christian Reformed Pastor Doug Wilson will participate in a moderated discussion on Radio Free Moscow with Steve McGehee and Keely Emerine Mix. Wilson is the author of Future Men, Southern Slavery As It Was, and numerous other books. McGehee has a PhD in Philosophy and was, at one time, a Catholic seminary student. Emerine Mix is an experienced journalist, a noted Biblical feminist, a former Moscow School Board member, and a devout evangelical Christian. She is fluent in Spanish and ministered for many years to migrant workers in Central Washington. The discussion will be broadcast in Moscow on KRFP, 92.5 FM, and available to listeners outside the area via podcast.
The fireworks may only be rhetorical, but I have every reason to believe that they will light up the Moscow sky better than a bottle rocket from Lapwai. Unless, of course, I win my bet and, at the last minute, Mr. Wilson backs out. My prediction? Come 7PM, he'll be called away to officiate at the emergency funeral of someone's pet paraclete.

I'll take that bet.
How much are you willing to lose?
Aside from everything else, I just want to congratulate the hard working volunteers that keep KRFP on the air. This discussion between Keely and Doug is exactly the sort of program that a community radio station can bring to a town. Yes, it's a 100 watt station with an obviously very limited broadcast range. But that's why it is a "community" radio station. Kudos to Radio Free Moscow, 92.5 FM, and a pat on the back to both Keely Emerine Mix and Doug Wilson for giving Moscow this discussion.

The countdown is on.
How about putting your money where your mouth always seems to go?
It's not 7:00 pm yet. There's still time to put up or shut up?
Not holding my breath, of course.
